Zita Margarita Beeson

April 27, 1935 – July 16, 2025

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Zita Margarita Beeson, who departed this life on July 16, 2025, at the age of 90. Born on April 27, 1935, in Mexico, Zita lived her life with grace, love, and an unwavering commitment to those around her. 

Zita was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Her family was the center of her universe, and her nurturing spirit will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege to know her. A talented cook, she delighted family and friends with her culinary skills, weaving love into every meal she prepared. 

Professionally, Zita dedicated many years of her life as a compassionate nurse at a local nursing home. Her devotion to her patients was evident in her kind demeanor and tireless work ethic, leaving a lasting impact on the lives she touched. 

A fervent and devout Catholic, Zita found solace and strength in her faith, often spending time in prayer. She possessed a remarkable gift for remembering everyone’s birthdays, always celebrating the joy of life with her loved ones. An avid viewer of novelas, she cherished moments spent in the company of her beloved pets, particularly her Maltese companion, Bebe, who brought her immense happiness. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Beeson, and son, Federico Gutierrez.

Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Charles F. (Dianne) Maxwell, Thomas Henry Maxwell; grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild; and her sister, Ofelia Aranda Garcia. She is also survived by other loving relatives and friends.
